The Dostoevsky Museum at the corner of Kuznetsjny Pereulok and Dostoevskogo Ulitsa.

The F. M. Dostoyevsky Literary Memorial Museum (Государственный Литературно-мемориальный музей Ф. М. Достоевского), located on Kuznechny Lane 5/2 in Saint Petersburg, was opened on November 12, 1971 in the former apartment of the Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky.[1][2][3]

Dostoyevsky lived in the apartment twice during his life: first for a short period in 1846 in the beginnings of his career, and later from October 1878 until his death in January 1881.[1] The apartment was his home during the composition of some of his most notable works, including The Double: A Petersburg Poem (1846) and The Brothers Karamazov (1879–1880).[4] The apartment has been reconstructed based on the memoirs of the writer's second wife, Anna Dostoyevskaya, and his friends.[5]

Museum features

[edit]

The museum library holds about 24,000 volumes and a small collection of manuscripts.

Every November, the museum hosts an international scholarly conference, Dostoyevsky and World Culture, and a journal of the same name is published with the conference proceedings.[6]

The museum is included in cultural tours in Saint Petersburg, some specifically focusing upon Dostoevsky.[7][8]
